Why are people so pissed off about this? It's the Olympics for god sake, an international tradition that's taken place for centuries. This definitely has more priority than just music shows where fandoms get to brag about their group winning and other fandoms getting butthurt. Get over it

It actually doesn't give them a break. They still have to rush around to performances, and actually, during the Olympics their schedules get even more hectic, because they have to rush around to all their normal events AND the Olympic support and celebration events. So, no, they don't get a break..
